When the Queen Is ON the Road.


CaEseli's Family Magazine.
Let us glance at the regulations for all con-
cerned. The time Of departure and arrival hav
ing been mentioned, and the metals which
the train will travel specified, the regulations
provide:
First-For !, pilot engine, accompanied by a
locomotive foreman for the various districts,
and by guard with lamps, flags and fog sig
mails. This engine precedes the royal train at a
uniform speed. and always fifteen miles IN ad-
vance of it.
Second-The drivers and fremen, as we'll as
the engineers of the royal train, specially Sc
iected. Telegraph men accompany the train
under superint tendent and workmen. filters
iampmen and greasers travel on the train all
the way, keeping a constant watch, and at stop
ping places they must alight and examine the
train and grease the axle boxes.
Third-A lockout man is placed on the tender
OF the engine. and, seated with his face to the
train, observes any signal that may be given by
the occupants. This position is by no means an
enviahle one, as may be imagined, particularly
at night, when more than ordinary vigilance is
required.
The above are u few of the precautions which
the railway companies adopt to secure her Maj
estys safety. and her comfort is less studied.
The Queen travels on the down line, and so for
thirty minutes previous to her coming no train,
not even light engine-by which is meant an
engine without Carriages attached-or any We
hicie is permitted to proceed upon cross the

Not only are these rules expected to be, but
are, strictly conformed TO- but all goods trains

iecting which might strike the royal trains. No

CINCINNATI AND ST. LOUIS.
Denial of the Rumor that the Fidelity Ma

CINCINNATI, June 1.-THE very general i'm
preston that Cincinnati furnished large part
of the clique which has been charged with man
aging the Chicago wheat deal, turned attention
in this direction to day when the panic in wheat
in Chicago developed. Very strangely, the Gin
cinnati members of the clique vanish upon all
attempts to locate them. Mr.. j. W. Wiltshire, who

They Hunted the Wrong Coon.

"My education was to despise all dogs
except the old long-eared hound" said
an old hunter. "For the fee and cur
was taught contempt. The nearest
that ever our hounds come to running
sheep was to tree a goat, and they
would not have done that but for one of
the Crawford boys, who went along
with us coon-hunting. He carried
along half cur and half bull dog that
some fellow in Zebulon had loaned
him. We called up the dogs and filled
our pockets with roasted potatoes and
started for the river bottom. We had
no more than got into the wood than
we heard the half cur and half bull give
bark.
There's a rabbit, said some one,
disguised.
But directly old Blue, one of our
hounds, opened up, and then Trailer
joined in, and soon the whole pack
were on the hot trail. We knew the
hounds wouldn't run q rabbit at night,
so thought it was a 'possum. We then
followed after the dogs to the edge of
the Flint River bottom, where a tree
had fallen from the bluff and lodged in
q big white oak that came up from the
ground below. Up this bending tree
the dogs indicated our game. BY the
time We got there Old Blue was on the
tree, making his way for the top. We
slid down the bluff and stood beneath
on the bottom waiting for Blue to shake
'possum out. Blue soon got to the
top, while the other dogs bayed at the
roots, and the first thing you know
something came down through the tree
top, making more fuss than forty pos
sums. 1t was Blue that had fallen
Another hound then went up and he,
too, soon hit the ground. After four of
our hounds had been thrown out, the
half cur and half bull made his way up.
He had no sooner arrived at the top
than down he came, making more fuss
than all the others together, holding
on with bull dog tenacity to we knew
not what. They hit the ground to-
gether and tore it up for some distance
around, but the dog held his hold

A CARPET merchant of Vienna has a
curious collection of ancient wooden
and linen cloths, including more than
300 specimens. Many of them have
been taken from tombs, and are stretch
ed on folios of cardboard to preserve
them. Some of the fragments are only
q foot square, but the larger ones make
up an entire Roman toga, which is said
to be the only one in the world. There
are great many embroidered dresses,
and deal of knitting and crewel work.
Double chain stitch seems to have been
as familiar to the Egyptian seamstress-
ca, sewing with bone needles, as it is
to modern women. There are some
very quaint and unusual designs in the
old collection of cloths, but there are
also some very common things. 1t is
curious to find that the common blue
check pattern of our busters and work
house aprons was in general use among
the Egyptians more than 1000 years
ago.

Graves 10 Ichabods room. This was ac-
cordingly done, the lady stopping on her
way TO the coach-house to tell her hack
man to find out the proper road to G.,
for which she would be ready to set out In
few moments. Upon reaching Ichabod's
room she, according to Gerry, had rum
mayed the young mans carpet-bag in a
very summary manner, possessed herself
of the letters, and then sprung hastily into
the hack and driven off, without SO much
as thank you" or "Good-by" for my
wife.
This was the story they had for me when
reached home that evening.
Ichabod returned on Thursday morning,
having passed two days and nights in anx-
ious waiting mt the c. tavern, and look
ing distressed and haggard.
Ny wife found him in the family sitting
room. He was leaning his head in his
hands YEARLY on the table, as If exhausted
from long journey or despiaring over some
mystery he would not reveal to US. She
told me of his return at once.

been altogether satisfactory, Ichabod," said

ing -,
mo, sir, he faltered, twisting his finger
in his hat band in nervous way he had.
"I-I didn't meet the-the party expected
to see."
"Bet someone has been here looking for
you in your absence, 81 said; and forthwith
began to tell him the story of Miss Graves
visit.
He listened wide mouthed, with q
stunned, dazed expression, until / came to
tell of the visitors demand for his letters.
and of Gerry conducting her to his room,
when he interrupted me with an inarticu-
late cry, as though sitting, but managed to
exclaim:

Nothing was left me but to reply in the
affirmative.
"Tricked again." almost howled the young
man, tearing his hair with savage fury.
"1ricked again, and by that beautiful fiendl
Oh, fool that I've been!"
He staggered wildly out of the house, but
tainted away before he could cross the
grounds.
With a feeling of deep commiseration, l
had him conveyed to his room and sent for
the physician.
The doctor looked grave, and predicted
a fever, which soon set in. We made the
patient as comfortable as possible, furnish
ing his room with whatever could be spared,
and inducing the coachman and gardener
to take turns at nursing him-though Gerry
insisted on experimenting everything per-
tanning to the sick chamber-and in a few
days Ichabod was convalescent, though
very feeble.

BIZ 8. MOORE.

Always choose the sunny side
When you can such bliss attain;
Never swim against the tide;
Wait its flowing back again.
Should the clouds of sorrow lower,
Yelling pleasures faintest ray.
Wait, you'll find the darkest hour
Is the one preceding day.
Happiness Ia not in wealth.
JOY is not work OF art
Greater is the gift OF health.
Sweeter is peaceful heart.
Though the gift you get be small,
II IL square with your desires,
You are rich. for you have all
That your present need requires.
II you can rejoice to-day,
Do not rfet about tomorrow
Happiness will longer stay
BY avoiding needless sorrow.
Always try TO act the man,
Honestly perform your part,
Do whatever good you can,
Cultivate a thankful heart.
Neither do nor suffer wrong.
Never show nor bow to pride,
Thus you'll smoothly glide along
LIES delightful sunny side.

THE TEN-CENT THEORY.

How to live and thrive upon a dime a
day is the text upon which an
eastern writer is talking. He says it can
be done, and proceeds TO give examples
of men who did it. The Peninsular and
Oriental Steamship Company, he says,
employ East India coolies TODD the hard
est work upon their steamers, because
they are stronger, healthier, and can
stand the climate better than English
men. Their living costs but six cents a
day. The dock porters Of Constantinople
live on bread and figs, and carry $50
pounds on their shoulders. The soldiers
of some of the South American States
furnish their own food, and are paid but
eight cents day. The hair braiding
women of the Dutch West Indies work
for less than six cents day and manage
to exist. Where climate and natural
on no cents day. But what Of it? Is
it proposed to figure men down to this
in the United States:
The ten-ceut idiots are a relic of the
dark ages, the Lancaster GdZetfe truth
fully says. There are people who refuse
to see that Labor is asserting its right to
share Of the good things Of life, The

men in any country could divide among
themselves the iuXuries, giving the COM
mon people just enough to enable them
to do the work required Of them Ma

to become of the surplus product if peo-
pie do not consume it: The earth pro-
duces a surpluE as measured by our actual
necessities, and machinery, which multi

pacity of man, pnts into form for Use
very much more than man actually
needs. Why, then, should the army of
laboring men be required to live on ten
